I made several tests in Selenium IDE and saved it as a test suite in the HTML format which works fine for importing back into selenium IDE. Now however I would like to expand these tests using python and when I click export test suite and choose python I get this error

Suite export not implemented for the chrome://selenium-ide/content/formats/python-rc formatter

How can I enable this option in selenium IDE?

Note I also have found an additional plugin for Firefox that allows batch conversion of tests but still does not allow export of the entire test suite as one file. I realize I could combine these files by hand but in the future I would like to have this option in my workflow.

Thank you.

p.s Running Firefox 3.6 on fedora 14

What version of SIDE are you running? If you are running the latest version (1.9), go into options, check the box off for "Enable Experimental Features" and the formats menu should now list Python.
